The Cowards In The Senate Are At It Again

Top Senate Democrats this week introduced two more amendments to impose timelines on the withdrawal of troops and benchmarks for the Iraqi government to meet.

Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and Harry Reid, D-Nev., have offered an amendment to the Water Resources Development Act to begin the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq by October 1, 2007, if certain commitments are not met by the Iraqi government.

The withdrawal would have to be completed within six months, the same terms that drew a presidential veto when they were made part of the 2007 supplemental war spending bill.

However, this version of the language provides for a presidential waiver, a concession Levin believes will obviate any White House threat to veto the bill.

Attaching a cut and run amendment to water legislation?

Do these cowards know no bounds?

They are unable to get their legislation passed the honorable way so they resort to sneaking in their demands. Unbelievable.

Rob at Say Anything found this great line from Harry Reid just a few months ago:

I also recognize that we have a process in the Senate where bills can be amended. Sometimes they don’t have to be relevant or germane. But I think you have to be in the ballpark.

Let me see….water legislation and Iraq. Yeah, same ballpark.

I’m not much of a believer in polls but most of the moonbats are, especially if the poll shows a downward trend for President Bush. Now what do they think of what the democrats have been able to do in four short months? Drive their favorable poll results down to 29% (27% in another poll). I’ll make a bet that Reid and Peeeloshi’s games on the war will drive them lower, faster. People have finally woke up and looked at the nuts they elected. I can’t even get most of the life long democrat voters I know to make a comment. They just turn and walk away muttering under their breath about worthless SOB’s. Not a good sign for the future of the democrat party.
The comedy contiues.
